Inspiration

Buying a home is one of the most stressful, opaque, and confusing processes people go through. From endless searches to navigating loans and paperwork, it often feels like there’s no one guiding you through it. We wanted to build an AI-powered platform that not only simplifies the journey—but acts like a real estate coach that stays with you for life.

What it does

Keyvi AI is a lifetime real estate assistant. It helps users:

Find homes that match their taste, lifestyle, and financial situation

Understand if they can afford the home (and how to get there if not)

Access personalized loan and grant options

Get a step-by-step plan from pre-approval to move-in

Stay supported post-purchase with tools like Decorator AI, maintenance tracking, and more

How we built it

We started with a structured onboarding quiz built using React, integrated with a real-time recommendation engine powered by Groq and LLama. We used Perplexity APIs to fetch listings, and trained our match algorithm using affordability logic and financial rules. Team collaboration happened in real time during the hackathon using Cursor.

Challenges we ran into Gathering reliable, real-time listing data and aligning it with financial APIs

Mapping affordability logic in a simple and user-friendly way

Integrating multiple services (like document storage, expert booking, and AI suggestions) into a seamless flow

Avoiding scope creep—we had many ideas and had to prioritize core features

Accomplishments that we're proud of Built a functional onboarding flow with personalized results in less than 24 hours

Integrated financial checks and smart matching to guide users toward real homeownership

Created a clean, user-first interface that works across desktop and mobile

Designed a future-facing roadmap that goes beyond just buying a home

What we learned Most people don’t need more listings—they need clarity and a path

AI can’t replace experts, but it can act as the best first line of support

Building trust in fintech or proptech products starts with transparency and simplicity

Fast collaboration and tight team alignment are more valuable than over-engineering

What's next for Keyvi AI Launch the MVP to help first-time buyers in Canada

Expand into the U.S. market with more data integrations

Partner with realtors, brokers, and financial institutions to improve accuracy and user support

Add post-purchase and investment tools to build a long-term ecosystem

Seek early adopters for feedback and iterate quickly toward product–market fit
